The Chicago Chronicle eaye thut congreee will be called upon to act at the Hppronching eeweion. Tho Ding ley bill ha beeu in force lone than Hve month and the deficit in tho revenue amount to almoet 50,000,00(). Thi Indicate a deficit for the flecal yenrol more than f 100.000,000, although it I powiiblo that the iucremmd revenue looked for neit upring and eummer, may reduw the deficit to $75,000,000. Hut with a deficit of that amount It will be almolutely Decenary to make provieion for more revenue or negotiate a govern ment loan, If t he deficit doe not ex ceed 175,000,000 the preeeut treumiry Hiirplue, w cured by the Cleveland eale of bond, will jtit about carry the govern ment through the current lineal year, It I proper to ny that a hen vy deficit wa expiated during the flrnt three monthni of I he Dingley law, but tho rev enue for the month of October were much Hinuller than had been anticipated, and no far they are very dienppoluting in November. rreeident McKinley I determined to avoid a bond Ihnuo if he cun poMibly And the money to pay the ux pen mm of the government by going In another direction. lie mny not dlei iiM the ad vleablllty of further revenue legielation In the mi'HHiige which he will traiiNinit to congre at the opening ol the eeenion. It may be hi policy to wait and ee whet her bet ter reult can be had under the Dingley bill than have beeu attained eohir, Hut it can be wifely UMcrteJ that If the receipt under the preeent law do not how a large increaee during the month of December and January, th prcidcnt will end a epecial im uge to congre early In February re commending the enactment ol legiela t ion which will relieve tho treneury. What lie may have to ugget can only be urmied ut preeent, but it I quite probable 1 hat lie will recommend the impoeltion of a tux on tea nnd coffee and an increne in the tax on beer.

If wo consider the tremendoue advan tage enjoyed by capital in it content with labor, It I plain that the reaon iug of the learned juriet ehould be ap proved, They have power nnd influence. In it conteet againet labor the corpor ation or truat I not restrained by the thought of a etnrviug family. It ha only two object, profit and more profit. The corporation ho no oul to wave, 110 body to starve. In hi dinxentlng opin ion Judge Caldwell hay: "Corporation are fanned olnly for pecuniary profit. They defy all eocial re train t that woultl have a tendency to leHcn their divideiidM. What the etockholder want I moredividend,aiid tho beet mnmiKer I the man who will make them the lurget. The struggle I coueta 11 1 between thu laborer wboe labor oroduce the dm (lend and thoHO who enjoy them. The manager I tempted to reduce wage to iiicrene dividend, nnd the laborer re- itthe reduction and demand living wage. Hometime the Nt ruggle roochc the point of open rupture. When it doe, the only weapon ol defene the laborer can appeal to' I the etrike or boycott, or both. The weapon they have an undoubted right to ue, no long a they ue them In Denccable and order ly manner, Thi I the only lawful limi tation u noil their umc, J hat limitation I fundamental and miiMt be observed." The boycott I the only method by which public opinion can find ex pre iou. If the public diHiigrec from the striker and agree with the employers, the boycott will be harmle. If the public believe that the employes are right and that the employer I oppre. ive, the boycott may become a power ful weapon with which to reach arro gauce otherwise nfely entrenched. A the only object of a trust or corpor ation I to make profit, anything which tend to lessen it profit strike at it most sensitive point. With the boycott forbidden, there re main to aggreived employe only the right to throw down their tool. They are deprived of the benefits which they might have by merely organizing public opinion. Thus, through judicial inter ference, the public is forbidden to assist iu protecting It weaker menibei from the Impositions of greedy corporations and avaraciou and heartless employ er. The itty wruth of Jtobert T. Lincoln over the marriage of his daughter,Jessie Lincoln, to a respectable young man who I a baseball pluyer by occupation, end hi refusal to "r icognize" his son-in-law Is a sample degeneracy of a noble name fit to bring the blush of shame to an American cheek. The bride Is the graudaughter of a rail splitter and Mis sisHippi flat boatman. If there is any sociul regulation which forbid the buns between such a girl uinl u respi-ctuhlo base ball pluyer, it Is sale to siy Abra ham Lincoln nor any oilier true Ameri can evi r recognized it. Jtobert T. Lin coln has been attorney for the Cullman company for a number of years nnd Mince Cullman's death has ttecomo i's l.iutingi'r. There seems to be something in the atmosphere of these great corpor ations which destroys the spirit of Amer ican democracy, f'-rtaui it in there is an tippnlliiii; distance between tho cor dial, kindly democracy of Ahnihiim Lin coln and thi exclusive, aristocratic telf im 111 of his sou.

Tbe Secretaries of the state board of transportation ljegan work nt South Omaha Monday of this week tukiug tes timony in the matter of the complaint of stock shippers against the new freight rate on live stock which went into effect August 10, of thi year. It will be remembered tlnat the rail road manager und attorney have in. sisted that the change from car load rates to one hut.dred pound rate and stock shipments did not increase the cost of shipment. Stockmen, particu larly thoeii from tho western part of the state, knew well that thi claim wa un true for they hud proof to the contrary every time they whipped a car of stock. The Northwestern Live Stock Associa tion, having himil'iinrters at Alliance iu Hox Unite county, finally seat in a memorial und petition to the board. A preliminary meeting wa held between the manager ol tho railroad and the secretaries ut Omaha lust wick, but no agreement could be reached and the board gave notice that it would take the testimony of actual shipper this week. A brief statementof testimony as taken Is given below: Frank Currie,of Whitney,Dawe county testified that under the old rate a car of cattle from hi place to South Omaha cost 00. On two or three occasion since the new rates had gone into effect he bad paid as high a f 7i per cur and hi car were not overloaded, The di tuuee of Whitney from South Omaha I about 450 miles, A Newberry, of Cody, Cheiry county, testified that under the new rates It cost him five or six dollar more per car than it did under the old. Cody I about JJ50 mile from South Omaha. .Lit. Vuuiloskirk, of Alliance, llox iiutto county, produced a number ol way bill going to show that the ship ment of the Name weight of cattle from that point cost under the old schedule something over evcnty-flv dollar and under tho new eighty-six dollar. A he wa not a shipper himself, but secretary of thu livestock association, ami had hi information ut second bund, the rail road attorney objected to it liilraduo tion. (ienerul M11111I irsou, for the If. & M., saitl that the book of the ilililington road will show that for the carry lug of a like number of cars under the new und under th old rate the receipt of the company were over three dollars less under the new than under the old sched ule, On Tuesday the hoard continued to hour testimony. Secretary Vanlloskirk went upon tho stand. In the course of his testimony ho secured the ndmission from the Burlington officials that on seventy-nine car of cattle shipped from Alliance since the new regulations went into effect the freight charges had uver- aged f 10.40 per car more than under the old system. Mr. Vanltosktrk said that instead of 22,000 pound being a f.iir weight for a car thirty-six feet long, which wus the tar mostly used iu mak ing long hauls, .'tO.lMH) and even .'l'J,(ioil ptiiiiiilH was shipped with perfect safety. Another Alliance witness, Win. I .Hull, swore that let hud frequently loaded thirty 1,000 pound steer or thirt.v-two i)0() pound steers in a car. At the close ot this testimony all the railroads, except the Iturlington, filed sworn statements showing shipments of livestock over their Nebraska line from ugust 10 to October .'(I, Hie charges under the present system ant) what they woultl have te-eit under the old system.

This year, the same as in all previous years, some of the county clerk neglected to mark on the outside of the envelope anything to show that it contained election return. These let ters wero delivered with tho stack of mull and were opened by Mr. Porter the same a any other letter. lie could not tell what it contained until he had opened it. A soon a he discovered that it wu the return from some coun ty he filed it awuy with the others. A these letter are merely copies of the record kept by the county cierks of the stale and as the result um by the can vassing board is always published, it can be plainly seen thut tho secretary of state could not, if he should so desire, In any manner alter the return without being immediately detected. The only object the over zealous republican politl ciun could have hud in making the pro tost appear to bo an attempt to turn the attention of the people away from tho disgraceful record tho republican party has made in this state.

You can find plenty who have done thing and tried to do more to relieve the rich from taxation, but whatever relief ih given them i sure to be piled upon other tax payer. Hal urie of all otllce holder should be re duced to a gold standard and the num ber of officer should be reduced, More nnd more ofHcer drawing big salaries do less ami less work. We have three supreme judge and three uppointed helpers seem to do nearly all the work. At least they render a large proportion of the decisions, Let oflico holder work a farmers have to to pay their taxe twelve to fifteen hour a day, and half of them could be turned out to grass. We hud hoped for reform with a reform party, but it does not seem to come. F.vcry pop seem to want just a much salary as the republicans dared to take. We will see which party will declare lor reduction of suluries in their next plat form, Shortcoming of the party in power, alter this, will not bo covered up by big majorities u with tho republicans iu yeur back Little provocation will change the party In power hereafter. The bloody shirt party ha lost it grip. Ollice holder must wulk straight or wulk out; thut condition of things I sure to give u the beet government. a Wo cant help laughing when we look over nnd enumerate the extreme western limit of arable land tit for settlement and for home. Michigan, Ohio mid In diana for u long time were considered the extreme limit. The territory w hich i now Wisconsin wa thought to be too cold, and what is uow Illinois hud no timber. To think of settling where there wa no timber wa out of the question. Hut soon the extreme limit line wus tukeu up and moved to the Missouri river and the west line of the state of Missouri. Nothing but snud and sand storm west of there. A few travelers had seen the Platte river und its sand bottom and that smiled the destiny of the entire territory, when we settled in Lincoln only twenty. seven years ago, no one thought the upland would ever be plowed. The valleys of Salt and Oak creeks must furnish the breud, and perhaps the valley of the Hlue would be plowed. The next jump wus to the base of the itocky mountains. The lust rod of the great A inericun des ert could possibly be utilized by irriga tion. Hut at tho base of tho Itockic everything must stop. Now, how is it? The Gunnison ami Grand Junction country is considered tho best sach ami apple country iu the world. Hundred of car loads of apples urn shipped to I'Jurope, nnd teaches take the cake everywhere they ure sent. Peach trees yield a good crop ut five and npphs at seven years, and if the fruit is properly thinned out on tho trees when it first stits, a crop is sure every year. Then therein Itocky Ford, which beats the world for raising melons. With luelstick ing out of I lie sides of t he mountains nud water coming down in rivers, the Itocky mountains are sure to belilhdwith happy, virtuous homes. Dont, say that Uncle Samuel's good country is all occu pied. There is room between Denver nnd Sun Francisco for a hundred millions 01 stople to get a good living.
